oil two inches thick spreading as far as 70 as far as 70 miles from the that we've looked. >> i won in we're finding it everywhere that we've looked. >> i wonder if you could pinpoint one thing for us that is most worrisome about your findings so far. those findings are preliminary, says >> there's nothing living in these cores other than bacteria. i have yet to see a living shrimp, a living worm. nothing. >> reporter: joye, who cautions those findings are preliminary, says if those organisms are affected eventually larger fish and perhaps humans may also be. in a statement the government scys it's "working with academic scientists to monitor aggressively where the oil is subsurface." but that hasn't always been the case. in may joye was part of a team featured on this newscast that discovered giant underwater plumes istration oil. at first the administration

demanded they stop talking about of this discovery as we ultimately, the government and then bp acknowledged the plumes' existence. do you expect to be hounded because of this discovery as well? >> yes. i do. >> reporter: this time also joye says she has more research to do but is convinced the evidence speaks for itself. matt gutman, a attt gutman, abc news. i throughout the course of coverage of that oil well we heard so much about that blowout preventer, and now we know it was taken to a louisiana facility over the weekend for nasa so they'll really have a chance to finally look at it and conoto figure out what went

welcome back. well, it is still true what they said back in the '90s, when it comes to elections it is the economy, stupid. >> and so with control of congress at stake in the elections that are now just less than two months away, the economy of course is on the top of the agenda on all the sunday talk shows. >> are you saying that no way, no how, would you vote for the -- continuing the tax cuts for the folks in the middle class unless it also includes the tax cuts for the people in the upper brackets? in other words, you wouldn't be willing to pass those lower bracket extensions unless you can get the more wealthy -- >> if the only -- if the only option i have is to vote for some of those tax reductions, i'll vote for them. but i've been making the point now for months that we need to extend all the current rates for

all americans if we want to get our economy going again and we want to get jobs in america. >> so you are saying you would vote for the middle-class tax cuts if that's all you can get done? >> if that's what we can get done. but i think that's bad policy. i don't think that's going to help our economy. and i think the other thing that has to happen is that we've got to cut spending. if we cut spending, we will help our economy. we will send signals to the markets. we will send signals to the business community that washington's attempting to get its fiscal house in order. >> from all across our world to the heart of our nation's capital, "abc this week with christiane amanpour" starts now. >> the house minority leader, john boehner, has said that the only -- that he would consider extending the middle-class tax cuts. "if the only option i have is to vote for some of those tax reductions, i'll vote for it," he said on "face the nation" this morning.

what is your reaction to that? >> well, i obviously haven't seen the comments, but i notice the qualifier "if my only choice is." if he -- if he's truly saying that we can, as the president called for, get a broad consensus to extend the middle-class tax cuts, we should do it. >> and he's obviously saying -- >> we shouldn't hold that hostage for the argument about the tax cuts just for the very, very highest income people. so if he is for that, i would be -- i would be happy. in the past we have seen some of these circumstances in which what appears to be the offer of doing the sensible thing in the light of day, there's a little bit of a feeling, well, if the president's for it i'm against it. and then it falls apart. i believe -- i'm not a political expert. i'm just a policy guy. but i believe there is a broad

consensus, a middle ground, if you will, that democrats and republicans and business people and workers can agree on to get this -- the economy growing faster and getting people back to work. it's exactly what the president tried to do and is trying to emphasize in the policies he outlined this week. and we ought to do that. we ought to come together. ♪ >> from nbc news in washington, "meet the press," with david gregory. >> leader boehner for the republicans, who is saying in an interview that in fact he would support the middle-class tax cuts, the extension of which, which is what the president wants, he said on friday don't hold those hostage. what i'm asking is, is there any room to compromise with republicans, to extend even if it's for two years as your formerly departed budget director called for, those on

upper income americans, those tax cuts in the bush era? >> there's no one who believes mr. boehner -- they called the last set of tax cuts temporary. they're going to continue. i think we have to assume they're going to keep pushing this forward -- but let me make one point clear. what we're proposing is a tax cut for 100% of americans up to $250,000 of their income. so if you make under $250,000, you get a tax cut on all your income. if you make more than, that you get it up to $250,000. so if you're a millionaire, you'll get what everybody else gets up to $250,000. not the $100,000 a year that mr. boehner wants to give. david, we just can't afford it. and really what we ought to do is, as the president said, we agree on the middle-class tax cuts. let's not hold them hostage while we debate whether we're going to give this very small number of people at the top a tax cut that we can't afford. >> you have to wonder whether boehner's comments that he would support the extension of the middle-class tax cuts will open

the door for some kind of compromise in the next few weeks now that they're back from break. >> it was interesting to watch it play out. there was really a war of words. in addition to axelrod you heard from gibbs today and boehner saying what we're doing right now, raising taxes is wrong. >> we'll see. far from over. mobility experts who made is the team of it all happen. ii great news, you've been approved for payment. dr. cruz, i'm calling on behalf ofmarie stanford. and they can make it happen for you. hi, i'm doug harrison, if you're living with limited mobility, call the scooter store today. i promise, no other company will work harder to make you mobile or do more to ensure your total satisfaction. i expected they'd help me file some paperwork with medicare and my insurance. i never expected them to be so nice or work so hard to get me a power chair at no cost to me. if we qualify you and medicare denies your claim
